Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Five Decades of Rock ‘n Roll in America’s Loudest City

(Da Capo, 2013)

Now the unvarnished truth about how things came to be in the rock capital of the world. Detroit Rock City: The Uncensored History of Five Decades of Rock ‘n Roll in America’s Loudest City is an oral history told by the people who were on the stage, in the clubs, the practice rooms, studios and in the audience, blasting the music out and soaking it up, in every scene from 1967 to today. Detroit Rock City is the real deal, told by all from the guys and dolls who picked up a Strat and jammed it into our collective craniums. From those behind the scenes cats who promoted, cajoled, lost their shirts, and popped the platters to the punters who drove from everywhere, this is the book that gives life to Detroit’s legend of loud.
